What is Sentinel Single Sign On and How Does it Affect Me?
Sentinel Single Sign On (SSO) is a service provided by the MSU IT Sentinel security application, which allows participating applications to benefit from a common login. When a user logs into a Sentinel SSO participating application, an identity is created and shared with other Sentinel SSO participating applications so that you are able to bypass the login process.
For more information and answers to commonly asked questions, see the Sentinel Single Sign-On Logout (link) web page.

Do I Need to do Anything Special When Using Sentinel SSO Enabled Applications?
If you leave your work area, you should do one of the following:
- lock your workstation;
- log out of Sentinel SSO; or
- close your browser window that was used for a Sentinel SSO participating application.
Although Sentinel SSO will eventually time out after a few hours of inactivity, leaving your workstation without doing one of these things risks someone else using your identity and your security authorizations.
